Etymology

The term 'settleable' derives from the root word 'settle', which comes from the Old English 'setlan', meaning to cause to sit or to place. The development of this word has evolved over time, with its usage in legal contexts solidifying in the 16th century. 'Settle' originally referred to making a place secure or establishing a fixed position. As legal practices developed, the term adopted meanings related to resolving disputes and agreements. The suffix '-able' was added to indicate that something can be done, enhancing the meaning to suggest the potential for resolution. This construction is common in English, often creating adjectives from verbs to denote capability or suitability.
